Resident Selection/NRMP
All first-year appointments are made through the NRMP. Applications are reviewed and selections are made by a committee, appointed by the Program Director. The committee includes representatives from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, John A. Burns School of Medicine, the participating hospitals, and the current resident physicians. Final selection is based on references received from the applicant's medical school or hospitals where prior training was received. National Board, USMLE scores, and medical school class standings/evaluations. At least one reference must be from a faculty member of the applicant's department of Ob-Gyn.
Our residents have generally graduated in the upper third of their class. Over fifty percent are female and over fifty percent graduated from a mainland United States medical school.
